newborn & Infant Program

Apple Blossoms is the youngest program we offer, ages ranging from six weeks through six months. Some of their favorite activities include tummy time with sensory objects, and nap time!

Our next level classrooms are the Peach Blossoms and Orange Blossoms. The babies in this group range in age from six months through nine months.  In this class our little ones begin exploring art and sensory activities outside! 

Throughout the year our teachers are consistently evaluating each child based on age-appropriate benchmarks in order to assess individual growth and development. We believe this enables us to communicate with families and set realistic goals that will set your child up for success throughout their future!
